HYDROCARBON-BUBNER.

To all whom it may concern:- 7

Be it known that I, Josnrn Sr'unnnns, a citizen of the United States, residing at Covington, in the county of Kenton and State of Kentucky,' have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Hydrocarbon-Burners, of which the following is a specification. 'My invention relates to an improvement in a hydrocarbon heating burner where the air and gas are already properly mixed.

The'object of the invention is to provide a i fully set-forth in the description of the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this specification, in which:

Figure 1 is a side elevation. Figs. 2 and 3 v are central vertical sections showing the adj'usti'ng device in different positions.

In ordinary practice, the area cithe ignition orifices remains constant, while the volumeof gas admitted to the'hurner is controlledbyvalve meplianisna.v As this ignition orifice area is proportioned to take care ofthe maximum-gas su ply, it follows that 80 when a lesser amount 0 gas is delivered to theburner, it is not suflicient in volume to properly correspond'with the large area of nition orifice, and the flame will burn close to the burner, thereby heating it very hot so that the. burner will burn out and it is also liable, to heat it so much that it will flash 'back. The liability of the flame, to extinguish itself under these conditions is a la- With my device the rela tive areas-are propel-ll predetermined and simultaneously contro led so that thefull area of the ignition orifice is only in commission when the burner is receiving its full supply of gas, and vice versa, thereby delivering the gas with an equal pressure from theignition orifices all the time.

I fices 3 for ignition, these orifices being shown in four different horizontal rows. The pipe 1 is provided with the longitudinal slots 4, I through'which the gas is admitted to the burner. I 5 represents a controller having a reduced l diameter portion 6 telescoping on and fitting i the pipe 1, and having a larger diameter por 1 tion 7 telescoping on and fitting the burner 2, f The controller 5 is referably secured in position by means of t 16 pin 8 passing diametrically through two of the orifices 4 of the pipe 1. 9 represents a bracket secured on pipe 1 '10, provided with a yoke end engaging the pin 8 for actuating the controller 5, and hav- 111% its outer end provided with a handle 12.

The u per end of controller portion 6 is preferably provided at its inner periphery with the beveled seat 14, adapted to seat against the beveled surface piston of the on the pipe 1 t6 shut oil gas from the burner, 'see Fig. 2. The controller portion 6 oper ates efi'ectively adjacent to orifices 4 to vary the area of the gas inlet into the burner, this gas passage being indicated by the Iarrow, Fig. 3.

The controller I ortion 7 effectively operates adjacent to the ignition orifices 3 to expose more or less of the rows of orificesas the controller 5is adjusted. When the smallest amount of gas is admitted to the burner only the top row of ignition orifices will be open, and when the full amount offgas is admitted all of the orifices will be open, or the area of ignition orifice will be alwa s roportioned to the area of gas inlet into t 1e liurner.
